Fran picked up a verbal commitment from Junior inside linebacker Aaron Buckley (top 100 Junior by Texas Football magazine, first-team All-District 29-3A, second-team all-area). This kid is a beast. At 6'1''/255 lbs he bench presses 420 pounds, power clings 365, and squats 550. According to his high school coach, those number are good enough to put him "in the top 10 at A&M in three to five categories." In his Senior season, Buckley looks to top Palacios High School's unprecedented 2006 season. "[Last season] we won a district game (for the first time since 2001) and next year we want to go to the playoffs." Buckley picked us over Houston, Rice, Oklahoma State and Washington State.
